it doesn't matter what argument I come up with your mind is made up . The funny thing is , you seriously think that things will change with your system. Read a little history about corruption and elections, like The History of Corruption in Central Government edited by Seppo Tiihonen, or the Waning of Old Corruption by Phillip Harling or any number of other books on the subject. Please accept my sincere apologies for the fowl mouthed tirade , I thought you were someone else and by the time I realized it, it was to late to take it back. I can understand where your thoughts are coming from and in some bizarre way I agree, But to get rid of the electoral college is another step in to get rid of checks and balances in the system. I' m again apologetic for the profanity, and sorry you live in New York where your vote does not count, But that can be said of any voter in any state.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fafc21269beddc315000006wowserSun, 13 May 2012 10:15:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fafc21269beddc315000006
Do you have any idea how many bills and proposals of Obama's have been struck down or obstructed by Congress?? Currently, his signature achievement is up for review by the Supreme Court, which has the power to strike it down.
None of that would be an issue is Obama was a dictator. Stop watching Fox (which, by the way, is easily the most watched of the mainstream media, making it the epitome of the "LSM") and start making judgments for yourself. There are plenty of things to dislike about Obama without making up extremist views that don't exist.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fafc0a9ecad04075100001cwhat the...Sun, 13 May 2012 10:09:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fafc0a9ecad04075100001c
Per Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Papers, the Electoral College is nothing short of a way to protect those who should rule from those who might vote for someone else:
It ensures, as Hamilton wrote, that the President is chosen "by men [the members of the Electoral College] most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice."
Basically, what the Electoral exists for is to say, "Rather than fairness, let's make sure that no matter what a majority of the people want, the determination of who is President will really be left to a very small segment of the population (currently, at its largest in our history, it is 538 people)."
I'm not saying that the states most likely to vote one way or other over the years can't change (they have many times and will again), nor am I saying that under the right circumstances, a candidate can't win in a landslide. But the fact of the matter is, every election since 2000 has essentially come down to what happens in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and that is most certainly not the result of a system that, as you put it, "forces candidates to include all states if he or she wants the presidency."
I live in New York. I watch a pretty average amount of TV. There is a shockingly small amount of presidential campaign ads here. Why? Because the candidates spend nearly all of their money in the few states that do matter, and ignore the states that they know will go blue or red. New York and Texas only matters to the candidates for fundraising, not for votes.
See how I managed to make my point without once calling you a name?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4faf2427eab8ea0a3d000016Alejandro Polanco KepferSat, 12 May 2012 23:01:59 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4faf2427eab8ea0a3d000016

Could it be the two giant bubbles that were being built? The housing bubble and the tech bubble? Let me get this strait you actually feel like all the good times in the 90's were actually real? When the government was bankrolling everything, feeding a giant housing bubble while silicone valley simultaniously started throwing easy money at any tech start up that had the word internet in it?
The reason we crashed so hard in the 2000's was because we flew too close to the sun in the 90'shttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fae78006bb3f7c10400001cdarserickSat, 12 May 2012 10:47:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fae78006bb3f7c10400001c
you are making my point .......the electoral college needs to be strengthened not taken apart. does it have flaws .....yes. but the alternative would end in chaos as history would prove. your earlier assertion that the electoral college is outdated is ludicrous, it is a completely revolutionary way to insure some sort of fairness in elections. Historically elections have always been mob rules until this method was created. I do not accept your conclusion about swing states. if that were true Reagan would never have won in a landslide and neither would Clinton or Obama. With the right arguments and tremendous persuasion any candidate ,if he or she applies themselves, could win any state. GO BACK TO COLLEGE AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK YOU COMPLETE WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH.

Sorry, but you have that completely backwards.
The Electoral College is the system our voting operates under. Each state is counted separately (some states such as Maine are further divided) and alloted a number of electors, equal to the number of Representatives plus the number of Senators.
The problem is exactly backwards of what you suggest. The way it works now is that some states, like New York and California, are virtually guaranteed to vote for the Democratic candidate no matter how much effort the candidates spend there. Others, like Texas and Idaho, will vote Republican no matter what. So candidates always ignore those states - many of which contain the largest populations in the country - and instead focus on states that hover right on the precipice of going either way, the "swing" states such as Ohio and Florida.
So directly contrary to what you say, the truth is, WITH the Electoral College, all any candidate has to do is concentrate on a few states to get elected, such as Ohio and Florida.
If there was no Electoral College, then every person in the country would have a vote that is worth just as much as any other. I live in New York, so my vote is essentially worthless under the Electoral College system. If we elected by popular vote - as @TC accurately wishes - my vote would count just as much as any individual in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, Ohio, and the rest, and their votes would all matter just as much as mine.
I really, really hope I cleared that up for you, and please, consider an American Government book before the next election. You clearly have some misconceptions about the way the system works.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fadc7b56bb3f71050000013historyFri, 11 May 2012 22:15:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fadc7b56bb3f71050000013
OK, then please explain the 90s - when taxes were higher and the economy did better - and the 00s - when taxes were lower and the economy entered the worst downturn since the Great Depression.

dude your an idiot .....without the electoral college all any candidate has to do is concentrate on a few states to get elected. the electoral college forces candidates to include all states if he or she wants the presidency. If anything it should be strengthened, to insure that states like Hawaii and Alaska have a bigger stake in the game.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fada46becad046612000008NickFri, 11 May 2012 19:44:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fada46becad046612000008

This stuff is funny. People still blaming Obama for the economy. I think you guys should be happy that you haven't yet sunk as a country entirely. That jackass that preceded Obama may have a bit to do with your current situation but I suppose that's all in the past now. Obama was supposed to walk in and just turn the most F'd U.S. economy around overnight and without any support from anywhere...he failed. What a loser.

You stupid motherfuckers never look in the mirror. When the housing and credit bubble were booming no one said wait! Who the hell is going to pay back the banks for all this credit and home loans.

I'm curious how you envision taxing companies more will create jobs. If a company has LESS MONEY how can they pay MORE PEOPLE. If you take away capital, how are companies supposed to get started? Are you dense? Do you not know how our economy works. If I wanted to start a business tomorrow (lets pretend I don't have enough money to pay for it myself) I would go get capital for it. I would find someone richer than me with disposable income and ask him to invest in me. IF PEOPLE HAVE LESS DISPOSABLE INCOME TO INVEST HOW ARE MORE COMPANIES GOING TO GET STARTED???

A. It's Rasmussen. Refer to Nate Silver and how he handicaps the polltakers. The guy is always spot on.
B. These polls mean little at this point, even if it wasn't Rasmussen. If Romney can't win his first week of being the "winner" god help the GOP.
C. These national polls sadly mean little, even in November. Due to our moronic electoral college system. I WISH we elected presidents by popualr vote.
D. Refer to the Karl Rove map elsewhere on BI. That's what Roney's fighting. And he's losing swing states in dramatic fashion.
Sorry, Obama may actually crush Romney worse than he crushed McCain. And it won't be because he's an awesome candidate.

"federal govt's debt has exploded." while taxes for the ultra rich have gone down same with companies real tax rates. The things the government does has to be paid for. No way around that.
You have a point about power corrupting. That is something that always need to be taking in to account and fought ageist but that can also happen when too few people get too much money. They use that money to increase their power. Why do you think we are seeing huge inflows in to superpacs of millions of dollars from just a few hands?
They are investing and they will want their payback.
You are only looking at the government as the source of the problem. One has to look at all concentrations of power not just one.
Why would a company want to clean up after itself? That's just a cost. Companies again are a open system. They just dump the problems off on other folks. Why would they care about what people get paid? They want the absolute lowest costs and pay increases those costs.
Why do they move form country to country? They are looking for the absolute minimum costs again that will drive their profit higher.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2dd5ecad042e4100000dNickFri, 11 May 2012 11:18:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2dd5ecad042e4100000d

Dude......are you kidding? Europe is bankrupt because of its socialism. They gave away money, then when they ran out of money to give away they borrowed money so they could keep giving.
There are laws that say you can't fire people in places like Spain and fancy that, BUSINESSES DIDN'T WANNA GO THERE. With no business presence, Spain started finding it REALLY hard to pay those interest payments. With no business presence, unemployment SKYROCKETED (their youth employment is like 25%).
It blows my mind that the youth in America who are mad about poor employment want us to be MORE like Europe who's socialist policy is DESTROYING youth employmenthttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2d2beab8ea7327000016John1066Fri, 11 May 2012 11:15:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2d2beab8ea7327000016

Except for new voters, not a single person who did not vote for Obama in 2008 will vote for him in 2012 while many who did vote for him will not do so again.

Just as in this country, the RIGHT WINGERS IN EUROPE WERE DESTROYING THE ECONOMY. The Good European voters THREW OUT ALL THE RIGHT WING FAILURES.

I see. Now how is Obama's background in any way shape or form MORE likely to lend itself to fixing said economy. At least Romney has done SOMETHING. Obama's LAW background doesn't really lend itself to economics (certainly not more than private equity that lives and dies by its understanding of the economic climate). What does being a community organizer bring to the table to fix an economy more than Mitt Romney's background of 1) Private Equity powerhouse 2) Governor of a state.
Romney's background and skill set blows away Obama's. It's not even close. If you don't understand an economy in private equity you're done. Clearly he does.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2812eab8ea521b00001bRasmussen of the RIGHT WINGFri, 11 May 2012 10:54:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad2812eab8ea521b00001b

No, but conservatives (remember Ken Mehlman) want you to believe that all gay people are defective and can be reprogrammed. Therefore, they don't exist in the conservative movement
because if they did indeed exist in the conservative movement and functioned effectively in the conservative movement the problem would then become their ideology. Get it? No you don't.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad23a4ecad046c30000004poopypantsFri, 11 May 2012 10:35:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad23a4ecad046c30000004
Karl Rove's electoral map has the most credibility. Not because Obama is winning. That man is kind of an evil genius.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad222c6bb3f7c92a000007John1066Fri, 11 May 2012 10:29:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad222c6bb3f7c92a000007
He might have knowledge about business but that is not at all the same as running a government. A business reacts to the economy a government can move an economy. The biggest business in the US is only about 1% of the total US economy.
Business are tiny in comparison with the US government. Trying to use the same management style would do some very bad things to the economy.
There is another key difference. A company is a open system and a government is a closed system. A company can grab new market share. A goverment would have a very hard time doing that. A company can layoff people and from the point of view of the company they are gone. A government can not do that unless you think mass deportation / killing is a good option.
A companies main goal is profits for it's shareholders. A government's main aims is security of it's people, the rule of law, employment, standard of living, low inflation, etc.
There are many more differences.
Just because a CEO of a company many look big from your point of view does not mean they are big.

Rasmussen is the laughingstock of the polling industry. An openly Republican CEO and deliberately flawed methodology produces results that are consistently off. They've predicted 112 of the last 9 Republican victories. This article is worthless.
Better to look at Karl Rove's new map, which shows Obama slaughtering Romney. Karl Rove, of all people!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad1febecad041928000007Shithead GregFri, 11 May 2012 10:19:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad1febecad041928000007

More hilarity from the right wing wackos - and continued HYPOCRISY.
If a poll comes out and shows Obama leading it's a rigged left wing poll. If a poll comes out showing Romney leading then it's correct. What a bunch of lying hypocrites. God you guys are SO easy to spot. You can't open your mouths without lies and hypocrisy.

He has forgotten more about our business system and economy than every democrat in washington has ever known.
Obama won't go toe to toe with him on the economy because he knows he'll get pounded. He tries to focus on "likability" and "being in touch" and "social issues" all of which do absolutely nothing to fix our economy. If the economy is broken nothing else matters and right now we have an inexperienced lawyer with no background in business or economics at the helm.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad1aeaeab8eabd03000009joanieandchachiFri, 11 May 2012 09:58:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4fad1aeaeab8eabd03000009
